The Hall


This wonderful structure is the Helliconian Hall that was described in yesterday's sign post. It is so unusual that it is not brick that it catches the eye immediately. Almost all of the older buildings in the city are red brick like the one to its right. The Helliconian Club is still going strong.

What an interesting and unique building. Must have originally been a church. Good to know it is still a strong organization.

Interesting building with an interesting history. Odd name for the club...

That's a great looking building and quite a contrast with it's neighbor. I'm glad that is has a new life and is still going strong.

She's old and the ladies are in charge.

Brick was abundant in TO because of the local clay deposits in Don Valley.
